Iran has mocked Donald Trump over a secret security operation that saw the US president covertly transferred from Air Force One in Turkey to a smaller military jet, suggesting he had hidden in a catering vehicle during the escape. The taunt came after reports revealed that Trump was moved between aircraft because of a credible Iranian threat to his safety.
The move took place after Trump attended a NATO summit in Ankara in July. Publicly, the president appeared to leave aboard an older aircraft serving as Air Force One, while the real plan was considerably more complicated. According to reports citing officials familiar with the operation, Trump was secretly transferred to a C-32A military aircraft, with an airport catering truck used to conceal the movement.
